I have had a racoon living in my attic for the past 8 months along with her baby that is also her size now. I have tried every humane way to get rid of her but she wont budge.

The Black Australorp and Easter Egger are 9 weeks old. I had to rehome my previous cockerel at 12 wks and it was heartbreaking. Please let me know what you think.

Another question, can you please check on this suspect pullet or roo.
Any and all advice is appreciated.
Thankyou!
